## Effects of a failed bid[edit]

Many TV stations in the region was preparing for the winner to be revealed. The Chubu Japanese Television [ja] was preparing a 3 hours broadcast from 0:35 AM, but it was shortened to 30 minutes following the elimination.[2] There were many banners to celebrate Nagoya being selected for the 1988 olympics, but none of them were used due to the city being eliminated.

Aichi prefecture would aim to open the Expo 2005 as the first World's fair in the 21st century after the end of Seoul Olympics.

In 2009: Lost Memories, where Japanese rule in Korea survived until the modern age, the 1988 Summer Olympics were held in Nagoya.
